Painting Cabinets - One Step Chalk Based Paint

Learn from Amy as she teaches you how to use the Amy Howard at Home One Step chalk based paint on a wood surface.

No sanding, no stripping, and no priming? Now there's Amy Howard at Home One Step Paint, a revolutionary new paint product that allows you to transform furniture, cabinetry, and everything in between with just one swipe of rich, chalky, soft color. Yes, it's that easy! You can even use this on Formica, plastic, metal, glass, and lacquered wood.

Amy Howard at Home One Step Paint is a water-based paint that adheres to most any surface. You can paint directly on old wood finishes, concrete, iron, stone, Formica, etc. It dries to the flat, chalky finish we all covet on antique pieces you may find at the Paris Flea Market or your favorite boutique antique shops.

Thank you, Amy. You make it look easy and it is, in deed.

Your paint is amazing! We redid our kitchen cabinets In a day. Amazing! Looks like a very expensive set of cabinets from some very beat up ones! Thank you!

I'm starting my first ever restoration project today using the One Step paint! so excited!

[stuartandzoe]

As a professional remodeler I was asked to use this paint by an interior designer. As suggested in the video I thoroughly cleaned the piece of furniture and did not use a primer. This was a mistake as the paint did not take well to the wood and the darker areas in the wood continue to bleed through after 3 coats. When spraying with an HVLP sprayer only add about 20% water. This paint also chips off very easily so I would strongly recommend a sealer of some kind to strengthen the finish.

Getting my shopping list together for my first Amy Howard restoration project and I'm super excited!! Excellent video! I loved meeting you at Haven and I am very excited to get some "Amy" in my home :)

I've just painted my old ugly dining chairs and table with your one step paint and LOVE the chalky look! Would you advise using your clear wax to seal the dining table so that it can be wiped down? Will cleaning remove the paint from the table surface?

Love the products... Your video how tool's... I'm learning so much @AmyHoward

[nicolajrogers]

I feel so inspired! I've never used any of your products. Can i use it on a headboard that has caning?

[bless]

I would have liked that cabinet door in a french blue.

[Angora]

Loved it until the Dust of ages was applied, then...not so much, sorry!

I want to use this on a formica countertop. Should I seal it with something?

[lynnfleming]

Apparently water stains don't cover. Is my only option to strip the paint, fix the water stain and repaint?

[dianecottrell]

it doesn't seem to be one step at all going by your own video... This actually would be the same amount it higher probably than Annie Sloan chalk paint...

How does this wear o a kitchen cabinet, does it scratch and come off? thx

[tammierice]

You had me until the gold and red went on. Was so interested to see the outcome prior to this.

[teresaszatynski]

Please turn off the background music once you start teaching us it's overwhelming you and it's very distracting. I just love your videos You Are terrific thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us. Very grateful

[ginamaria]

Is One Step, more affordable than Annie Sloan ? Where do we find One Step ?

[creation]

Amy is amazing and the look is great I love it, but put music as background is horrible, like a torment, please think about. Thanks
